These quick and easy mini almond croissants are perfect for holiday parties, using premade croissants and a delicious almond filling. They are topped with slivered almonds for added texture and flavor, making them an irresistible treat.
1: Preheat oven to 350F.
2: Slice your croissants in half and line them up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3: Make the almond syrup: bring water to a boil then stir in your sugar until dissolved. Turn off heat and stir in almond extract. Set aside to slightly cool.
4: Make almond filling: use a fork to mash softened butter and sugar together until completely mixed. Whisk in egg, vanilla, and almond extract. Stir in almond flour and salt.
5: Brush the insides and outsides of each croissant with the almond syrup, then spread the almond filling inside and on top. Sprinkle with slivered almonds and gently press them in.
6: Bake for 15-20 minutes, depending on how soft you want them and how moist your croissants are.
7: Serve and enjoy!
